I AM SILLY
>gov hands out money during a crisis to people who normally work
>retard splergs out and laughs
>government returns a portion of the money it steals from me
>that's socialism!
Eat shit.
Well they are right about "no bailouts". The money should go to the people, not corporations or the rich. But yeah, otherwise this cartoon is accurate and Trump supporters are hypocrites. And actually they'd never use a "no bailouts" bumper sticker cuz low key they all love it when Republicans do that shit
>people can't work because the government forces businesses to shut down
>government gives people money to compensate for their unemployment
>the anti-government people are wrong for taking the money the government is effectively paying them back
do you also criticize people for collecting their tax returns?
That is literally the definition of socialism.
Trump just became the head of treasury dept and the fed and is sending signed check to trump supporters that they can keep as memorabilia. You're just a sad seething faggot on the internet with no tax ID number.
Like the govt taxes people and then pays that money back to people in an equal and redistributive way. That is literally what socialism is.
It's a rebate after you file for tax. That's what people on the right are always asking for: their own money back?
>building a strawman for a comics
>posting a strawman comic and strawmanning an anonymous board
>Government forces industries to shut down
>employees and employers are compensated
Am I missing something? This isn't a handout, it's literally compensation.
My annual tax refund is socialism?
If not, then this isn't either.
This.
This. Are people really this dumb? Yes. Yes, they are.
the government is mandating they dont work, why the fuck would they not cash in a check when they are being forced to not be able to provide for themselves. the question is rhetorical, you are wrong
You aren't getting back more than you contributed. It's an addition of your tax return essentially.
Imagine thinking an un-doctored cartoon from an American newspaper has anything important or humorous to say.
Your tax refund is socialism you stupid fucking boomer, god why is this site infested with braindead 60 year olds
fucking op is retarded, if usa didnt supply his country with defense funds they woulda already got fucked by the muslims, about time us taxpayers got a kickback for supplying the eu with military money for decades
>CCP virus relief is totally the same as sucking the welfare teat for generations
Leftists are all retarded otherwise they wouldn't be leftists. This is the conclusion I've come to after watching this nonsense transpire over the last 20 years.
bait more faggot
Wasted
user, this is not a tax refund.
user, you don't get back more than you contributed in socialism either, unless you're very poor. You're taking money from the pool of taxes and distributing it evenly to everyone (except the rich, actually). There is zero way to spin this as "not socialism". I'm sorry. Zero way and you're really embarrassing yourself by attempting to
People who paid no taxes and had no income are getting the money. People on SSI and disability, getting the money. People who made just 1K total at a part time job are getting the money.
There's no way for you to spin it as "not socialism"
Guys, as above. There's no way to try to say "this is not socialism". Poor people and people who did not even pay taxes got the money, which came from other people's taxes. It's socialism. End of story. Deal with it.
>Your tax refund is socialism
Explain how it is socialism specifically.
Remember when Trump "accidentally" said that he was suspending all trade with Germany and Muti Merkel immediately called him to beg him to reconsider.
>taking back your stolen money is unethical
Socialism is your tax dollars distributed to others in either cash or government programmes. A tax refund isn't socialism.
Dude it's not a tax refund. People with no job and people who are dirt poor are getting the money. Jesus, you people with your mental gymnastics. It's indisputably socialism. Deal with it
This isn't a tax refund. Poor people and people who paid no taxes are getting it. So end of story. This really isn't a debate. You are factually wrong. This is socialism. Tough pill for you to swallow, but you have zero choice
It is a refund of tax money that I pay. They still steal more then I am getting back from this.
I'll let you know when they're paid up.
The fuck are you smoking?
Without the government commerce would be miles better and welfare checks would need no concern.
Not the money I get, which is my whole point.
Yes.
No.
Socialism isn't white people getting their own money back. It's white people's money going to lazy niggers and dumb spics.
exactly im tired of euro fags shitting on us when if it wasnt for our nukes and military bases they would get conquered by the muslims or chinks immediately
I don't even know what you're trying to say.
It's not a "tax refund". People who didn't pay taxes and are on SSI / disability are getting it. Poor people are getting it. Rich people aren't getting it. It's literally money taken mostly from the rich and paid out evenly distributed from everyone else.
It's not a tax return. WTF is wrong with you people. You're literally doing socialism and trying to make some convoluted, objectively false mental gymnastics to try to deny it. Stunning
I'm an accelerationist. OP is a faggot.
You need to be shot. Once the cops go bye-bye you're on top of the shitlist.
And what would happen if there were no government?
u jelly kraut?
Retard, the money they took from us last year. That I already paid right?
They give me it back.
That's not free money, that's my property being returned.
>I don't even know what you're trying to say.
I'm sorry you're too retarded to wrap your head around simple concepts.
Its a rebate.
Nigger.
BASED
FUCK THE GOVERNMENT, PAY ME
The only thing that's missing is an orange man bumper sticker, that's the part that annoys me (pic related)
Yeah first of all that's not socialism. Socialism has nothing to do with race. Second of all you're literally not getting your own money back. It's money taken disproportionately from the rich and distributed evenly to everyone. Even poor people. Even those that don't pay taxes. For the 100th time. This isn't even something I should have to explain to a functional adult
It's not about the money you get, the policy is socialist. The money you're getting is factually not a "tax return" no matter how much you want it to be. It's a 1000$ check that goes out to everyone except the rich. Poor people, people who don't pay taxes. People on disability and welfare. It's socialism. Fact. End of story. Deal with it
This
Taxes, even if all its done is to hire fire fighters, mean you're taking wealth and redistributing it in a blanket across society to benefit everyone, especially the poor people that can't afford their own private fire services. This makes all taxes socialism.
Also, the break room in my office is paid for with the labor of all employees, some of wich do more work than others, and is used more by the lesser employees since the higher ones get their own offices. This means my break room is socialism.
Also, having children is socialism, because you're literally diverting resources from yourself, the one who is most able, to your child, who is the one in need.
tl;dr: don't be a socialist cuck, reject family values and society as a whole
This is how angry you get about people simply stating the facts that upset your fragile worldview, huh?
>capitalist bribes are socialism
you're dumb as fuck, private enterprise still owns the means of production - therefore not socialism.
No. It's not a tax refund. This money went to everyone. People who didn't pay taxes. People on disability. People on welfare. People who didn't even file taxes last year or this year. Jesus Christ. This isn't a debate, you're factually wrong
Read above. You're factually wrong and you're an outright socialist if you support it
read marx nigger LOL
>government is okay when I want it to be ok
Americans need an IQ test before posting.
I hope when this bullshit pandemic is over that the civil war will start.
To go further, a person is most able to produce carbon dioxide, which is then used by a plant, the one most in need of it. Stop breathing, and it will end socialism.
you don't know SHIT about socialism my guy.
The definition of socialism is not the government did something. Welfare is not the defining aspect of socialism. No more than being tall means you are in the NBA.
Socialism really doesn't mean "ownership of means of production". That's extremely ignorant and pedantic. That definition of socialism is really just confined to marxists and certain groups of people on the far left. I don't know why you'd drag the level of discourse in this thread down with this retarded comment, even.
DRUMPIES BTFO!!!
Biden is going to sweep the country in a landslide.
>government is okay when I want it to be ok
that's LITERALLY why America was founded
Boomers are absolutely seething
>noooo it's not socialism we're just redistributing our wealth!!!!!!
Hah, called it in this comment right here . Marxists are pathologically unable to recognize that they don't "own" the word "socialism". Irony, right?
Protip: for most of the people getting TrumpBux, they'd have even more money if they didn't have to pay taxes.
What kind of idiot views people as "dependent on government" when the government IS GIVING THEIR OWN GODDAMN MONEY BACK?
Yeah again read here and here
As long as you don't make six figures you get it. Your employment doesn't effect your eligibility besides whether or not you filed your taxes these past two years or not. Stop talking about politics you don't understand.
Haha the joke is funny because the thing they are doing is opposite to the thing they believe
Yes and Norway is not socialist.
Wrong. People who filed no taxes are getting it. Objective facts, bud
What's your source?
Sorry dude but that is the definition of socialism and you not recognizing it is cope on your part.
Capitalist bribes (welfare, UBI, etc.) have never been socialism, and more often than not have been used to suppress socialist revolt (see: FDR's New Deal for a historical example)
It's a collectivized ownership of resources. You can't act so retarded as to say collectivizing resources isn't socialism cuz resources = / = "means of production". It's really hard to take you idiots seriously, and I am speaking as an avowed far lefty.
The bill that was signed by your beloved God Emperor Trump today. Literally everyone on welfare is getting it
>i disagree so i should let the govt keep the money
what
I mean..it IS, to an extent.
Every single nation on the planet is a mix of capitalism and socialism.
Sometimes this benefits the few at the expense of the many, sometimes this benefits the many at the expense of the few, but every single nation is a mix.
Communist states don’t hand out welfare checks, they force everyone to work at gunpoint. It’s literally the opposite of a welfare state
>2 replies
lmao this retard is absolutely SEETHING
Yeah it's actually objectively NOT the "definition of socialism".
IRS
A sovereign wealth fund and a better welfare system does not mean it is not a free market capitalist country.
Draining the system is absolutely in line with their beliefs. It will recoup some of the money stolen from you. Even Ayn Rand said you should do it. Until we have a system in place that doesnt steal your income, you should take as much as possible, otherwise you are just paying for all the leeches.
Look at the media hyping $1,00 checks while they get billions.Yes, lemming love those checks you are going to pay for it with cost of living increases.
Memba 2008? Ron Paul said if you are going to bail out the banks pay off the mortgages. The government didn't do that and Sheriffs evicted 10s of millions of whites and then gave their homes to blacks and Muslims. My city went from no homeless to 1,000 homeless whites and now we have blacks pimping teenage white girls openly and beheaders walking around in their trash bags.
That's not what's done under socialism, that's what's done under capitalism. If you don't work and pay your rent or taxes you'll go to prison, at gunpoint. WTF are you talking about? How ignorant and lacking self-awareness can you be, user?
That's not a link you nigger.
It's not annoying in this case. But it is most of the time.
Trump boomers tend to vote themselves socialism in the form of social security and free healthcare. But then they deny this for young people and act like young people are entitled for wanting these same things
OK. Cool. I'm seething. Cool. You're still wrong and I am right.
Republicunts are just demorats but in red. Fuck both parties. Two sides of the same fucking nigger.
Hey look at this motherfucker who gets it.
Actually sweaty, it is no matter how much you don't want it to be.
How is it a "free market" if people are getting taxed? Libertarians always argue that taxation is theft and not a free market principle. Now it's "wah wah, this isn't socialism, we have a free market!"..........except we don't, and everyone knows it, and 99% of the time libertarians know it except for today on this particular day cuz it conflicts with their worldview and they are in denial about accepting socialism.
>I posted it again
I am not a libertarian. Taxes are needed. Taxes do not make a society socialist.
Honestly, you're really dumb if you think socialism is inherently tied to marxism. It's not. Objectively socialism refers to a government system of collective ownership.
Obviously you can't collectivize resources and the actual production, and then say "but you didn't collectivize the MEANS of production, so therefore not socialism!"
You think you're making yourself sound smart and education, but you're really just making yourself sound pedantic and mediocre
